Carrie Underwood’s big dress
All week long there was a buzz about “the dress” that Carrie Underwood would wear on tonight’s Academy of Country Music Awards presentation. The Associated Press writes that the dress was treated as if it were a matter of national security. Underwood compared it to lava.
Here’s the dress, if you didn’t see it in on television.
Love it, hate it, wonder what the big deal was all about?

Who needs Botox? Cut yourself some bangs
Sometimes a girl has to make sacrifices with her beauty routine. Especially in these times. Treatments and procedures are expensive. That 401K isn’t worth nearly as much as it was a year ago.
Perhaps that explains why more celebrities are going for bangs. Bangs instead of Botox. Hmmm. A simple snip is a cheap way to hide those fine lines.
During the recession, people are cutting back on unnecessary procedures such as Botox, said Suki Duggan of Donsuki Townhouse Salon in New York City. Bangs can hide those brow lines at a smidgen of the price of an injection. Ouch!
“A lot of my clients are asking for bangs as a way to hide the imperfections of their forehead,” Duggan said.
Stylish and thrifty. 
What do you think of Hilary Swank with bangs? And Kate Walsh? Lookin’ good.
